I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of hearing about the soap opera of Paris Hilton and her little pals. That’s why I enjoyed this video. Read more »
Random Eights
Ben has tagged me with this meme. It’s a rather difficult one. If you read the list, you’ll know why. The Rules: 1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves. 2.

Emerging from the Dungeon
Hello, Everyone! I’m looking at the date of my last post on here and am shaking my head. I can’t believe we’re halfway through May already. Last weekend, I had to work on Saturday. When I got home, I decided to upload some more of the old posts onto The Writers Buzz and got locked [...] Read more »

Both my kids decided that they didn’t want to wear a [...] Read more »

Book Marketing: A New Series
I’ve read countless posts in forums and blogs where writers talk about the dreaded writer’s block, publishing nightmares (traditional and POD), etc. On occasion, I’ll hear writers moan or rejoice about their latest book signing(s). What I don’t hear much about is how they market their books once they’re published. I found a couple of [...] Read more »
A Short Intermission
